Packard 200/250 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1951–1952) — First Generation
The Packard 200/250 First Generation pairs classic American luxury with accessible engineering. Offered exclusively as a Sedan, it provides a refined ride through a single engine matched to either an automatic or manual gearbox.
The Packard 200/250 engine is a 4.7-liter gasoline unit tuned for smooth, low-stress cruising rather than outright speed. It delivers power in a relaxed, linear manner that suits the car’s luxury character, making everyday driving effortless. Rear-wheel drive completes a traditional powertrain layout. Buyers could choose between a 4.7 AT with an automatic transmission for effortless, shift-free progress, and a 4.7 MT with a manual for more direct control.
